Grace for your spirit May 29, 2008

But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons…… but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness. Heb 12:8,10

God desires for us to live holy lives. He knows that the only way we can be truly holy, sanctified, and consecrated, is by sharing His holiness. He gives us the path to holiness when we become His sons, and accept His discipline. If we choose not to take His discipline, we are illegitimate children, not heirs, and will never be truly holy. How frustrating it is to strive for God’s holiness without being His child and having His hand on us. Don’t even try it. We cannot create our own holiness. We must share His.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
